2012 Ford F-150 - Best Truck Ever

The number of options and configurations offered is fantastic. It drives like a luxury sedan, stops smoothly (on a dime) yet accelerates like a muscle car! This truck is gorgeous yet tough. It makes the perfect family vehicle, work truck, or just about any other occasion.

Story

When our neighborhood was snowed in, no snowplows for days, this truck muscled its way out of the tundra.

Pros

I love the four full doors on the truck, would never go back to any other set-up. The sliding rear window is very convenient as are the folding rear seats. The rear seats are roomy enough for adults and now have headrests, making it safer and more comfortable for children. If all seats are utilized, six adults can ride comfortably. This truck is perfect for the bigger sized driver, yet adjusts for the most petite to control safely and comfortably. It is a great value, and is almost guaranteed to drive until you decide to replace it.

Cons

The gas mileage is similar to that of other trucks, not very good. The e-brake is now in a less convenient place. The price tag is high compared to other vehicles not comparably equipped.

2012 Ford F-150 - Overpriced Ford F 1-50.

My 2012 Ford F-150 was a replacement for my 2005 Ford F-150. This 2012 has the Lariat package. This is a beautiful truck. The extra's that the Lariat offers is a real treat compared to the standard F-150 without all of the extras. The 2012 truck is very comfortable and attractive outside and inside. They have added some extra cab room in the 2012 that comes in so handy. I think though, that the quality is a lot less than on the older models. It seems like over time it will not hold up as well as with older models. It is having some front end trouble and it really hasn't spent much time off-road. I like a truck that can do a lot of off-road riding and still be in great shape for everyday commuting. The tailgate is so heavy but yet the tail gate latch is so junky. It flexes on the handle...

I like a truck that can do a lot of off-road riding and still be in great shape for everyday commuting. The tailgate is so heavy but yet the tail gate latch is so junky. It flexes on the handle when you try to open the tailgate. Then, the tailgate won't open most of the time. I think that the high sides on the body are way too high. Not to be rude, but you get hung up trying to get into the body. The window switch on the drivers side door is acting up, this has been an ongoing problem with Ford. I am disgusted that they have not been able to figure this problem out by now. I also think I detect a motor tick which is not impressive at 75,000 also, the transmission seems to be shifting weird. My conclusion is, that Ford is way over pricing this vehicle it is not even close to the truck of the older models like the 2005.

Story

My family took it camping and it held all of our gear easily and we had a really great time.

Pros

My favorite things about this vehicle is the body style. It looks so amazing. My truck is this awesome dark blue and it is gorgeous. The running boards are nice and so easy to get it with. The black leather interior is so attractive and easy to clean up when things get spilled. The back seats fold up and it is so handy. It makes the back like a trunk. The backseats are also split so that you can fold up one side or both. It is the handiest thing ever. I can fold up the seat and have my dog laying on a blanket on the floor with plenty of room without worrying about her destroying my leather... (more)

This truck has the climate control and I love it. It has Bluetooth capabilities and that is so nice. I love the back rear window that open with a switch up front. I love how the front console lifts up into a third front seat. Some models didn't have this feature and to me it is necessary. The seat adjusts so many different ways for driving comfort on long trips. It also has heated seats which is so great. The heated seats have high and low settings which is great for when you get too hot you can turn it down. The best thing of all is the gas mileage is better than in the older models.

Cons

The cons are a lot and they are things that really irritate me. The cups holders are all in weird places. The ones in the center console set too far back so that I have to twist my arm into a weird position that hurts in order to get my coffee out. The lower ones are just way too low. I feel like I am going to leave the road bending over to get my cup out. The trucks price is crazy. I paid more for this truck used than I did for my house. I can't say that I feel very good about the money spent. It just isn't that good of a truck. My father is a body man and he noticed some raw seems on the... (more)

I can't say that I feel very good about the money spent. It just isn't that good of a truck. My father is a body man and he noticed some raw seems on the doors that he said would lead to rusting out fast. This is a really big con for me. I like to keep my truck for about ten years. If it is a rust bucket than it is a waste of my money. There is so much electronic things on the truck that I worry about them malfunctioning all the time. It is a constant source of anxiety for me. The tailgate problem is a huge con. I am a woman and if I can't get my tailgate open when I need to I am in trouble. There is no way I can reach over the side of that high sided bed to get things in and out. The truck seems to feel too floaty to me while driving. Lastly, I am not sure about it not having a gas cap. It worries me and I am not sure exactly why is just seems odd.
